Would elite colleges see a 33 and a 36 ACT the same?

The short answer to your question is. no a 33 will not be looked at as the same as a 36. Only about 3,500 testers get a 36, 26,000 get a 33. For most top colleges a 33 is 25th percentile and a 35+ is 75the percentile.

You are close. Do lots of practice tests in the sections that you need help in and give it one last attempt.

One thing to check on is because of the pandemic some colleges may not require the ACT/SAT this year or may not give it as much weighting as they have in the past. I would check with each college to see what their requirements will be this year.
